Proverbs: Dishonest Gains
on Saturday, July 9, 2011Bible money quotation saying dishonest gains of cash tend to disappear, while daily increases will grow over time to help you prosper. Biblical quote:
“Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow” — Proverbs 13:11
This verse from Proverbs is providing guidance on how to build wealth in an ethical manner. It suggests that money gained through dishonest or illegal means (“dishonest money”) will eventually disappear.
However, money that is earned gradually and steadily through honest work (“gathers money little by little”) can grow into a larger amount over time through compound interest or wise investments.
The overall message seems to be that long-lasting prosperity comes from accumulating wealth through patient, lawful means rather than quick schemes or illicit activities.
